Back in the day, the last one I bought was Caribou.

You "held out" an extra year.

I watched a few of his shows, but his persona kind of creeps me out. I never found him creepy, just too intense. He did often have interesting cases. What could be more noir than murders, confused individuals with deep psychological problems who often don't fit into the surrounding environment, inn...

Easily my favorite ELTON JOHN song ... and album!

One of my favorite songs and my favorite album, though with the
caveat that the last Elton John album I bought was Goodbye
Yellow Brick Road.

I won't be watching! I'm not sure when it starts, I didn't catch that part. Probably next month.

I doubt I will be either. The original series was okay, but a little of Kenda
goes a long way. I guess he figures he might as well make hay while the
sun shines.

I love Tony Randall (nice Jewish boy from Tulsa, Oklahoma) as Dr. Lao, mainly because the character is supposed to be a "put-on" for the Western folks so they can learn his wise (but occasionally preachy) ways. I love the Leigh Harline score as well. (he actually first used it in MAN OF T...

I remember reading The Circus of Dr. Lao when I was a teenager. It's a fairly
racy book (and a very short one), much more so than the movie. In parts
it even gets a little Sinclair Lewisy. I haven't seen the movie in years. It's
okay, especially some of the special effects, but nothing special.

SAY IT AINT SO!!!!!!!!!! JOE KENDA IS BACK!!!!!!! MYMYMYMYMY! I saw a commercial for it the other day. Hasn't he run out of cases by now???. I guess there's hope for Paula yet! :( (Unsure if he's rehashing old cases or its like his last one, commenting on others). I'M BACK!!! And they say smoking c...

FMQ was fairly entertaining. It's not original or top drawer, but it gets the job done in one hour, though it is a bit of a bare bones flick. I don't mind if the cop isn't obsessed. Sometimes I like to see a regular cop, just like Otis Campbell liked to see a bat once in a while. I do think that Lun...

I've seen The Intruder two or three times over the years, though not recently. I think it nails the atmosphere of a poor small southern town in the early 60s pretty well. It's a rather disheartening place, right down to Shatner's shabby hotel room. And Kirk is believable as the manipulative conman a...

LONG, LONG running.......

Add as many longs as necessary.

Paula Zahn has a long running show on ID called On the Case with Paula Zahn.

In years, its less than that as the show is on several times a year with overlapping between years, but she's probably been on close to 20 years now. That Heartland show seems to focus on small hick towns where everyone knows each other and never lock their doors. Then after the murder no one trust...

Yeah, the hand holding the revolver isn't actually the most lifelike or realistic looking thing you'll ever see in a movie, is it. https://youtu.be/tRiuo_KlvCk (...btw, ever notice the splash of red color added to the firing of the gun in this otherwise monochromatic film?...I never had before, any...
